The Corps of French Female Volunteers (French: Corps des Volontaires françaises, or CVF) was a military auxiliary service established by the Free French forces in the United Kingdom during World War II. It was founded on 7 November 1940 as the Female Corps (French: Corps féminin, CF) and was inspired by the precedent of the Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS) and was the first female unit in the military history of France.

The CF was renamed on 16 November 1941 and formally integrated into the Free French Forces. It numbered 430 women b
